About this Event
This year, we're raising funds through a Silent Auction, with every bid helping to support Movember's work in mental health, suicide prevention, and cancer research. All proceeds go directly to Dave's 2026 Movember fundraising campaign, so thank you for your support and happy bidding!

Hi, I'm Dave, and I've been supporting Movember for the past 15 years, raising more than £100,000 for men's health causes.
Over the years, I've taken on some tough personal challenges, usually throughout the 30 days of Movember. Last year alone, I raised over £10,000 by completing one press-up for every £1 donated. That meant an incredible 10,213 press-ups in 30 days!
Many of these challenges have been supported by CrossFit Beorn, where I've also completed feats such as:
- A CrossFit Hero Workout every day for a month
- Cycling the equivalent distance from Land's End to John O'Groats (over 1,000 miles) on a bike erg
- Ski erging the height of Mount Everest (8,849m) every day
After years of pushing my body to the limit, my slightly older 62-year-old body has earned a bit of a break! This year, we're doing something different by hosting a Movember Ball, alongside a silent auction.
Every penny of profit from ticket sales and auction proceeds will go directly towards my Movember fundraising efforts, so any support you can offer is hugely appreciated.
Thank you for helping make a difference.
